In-House and Other PD Options

In-House Presentations

It may be more practical and/or economical for your organization to offer seminars on an “in-house” basis. Some advantages of such presentations are:

  • Cost-effective, flexible and convenient
  • Opportunity for frank discussions about how matters will be treated “in-house”
  • Team-building through discussion groups

You can arrange for an in-house presentation of most of the seminars offered in the professional development program. CPA Manitoba supplies a master copy of the seminar materials and you supply the location, instructor, etc. The basic fee for most seminars is $500 plus $140 per participant for a full day session ($75 per participant for a half-day session).

Acquisitions of In-House Rights

The purchase of in-house rights gives you unlimited right to use the seminar material within your organization, in any format you choose. You will receive one master copy of each of the instructor materials and the participant materials for your use. The cost of acquiring the rights starts at $3,000.
